Here in Katowice it's very quiet but I saw pictures of usual street markets in Lodz Kraków, although outside the city limits technically, residential village area.

brommy Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Spain relaxing some restrictions. The details will be interesting and a possible indication of what the UK will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Boris looked rough. He also didn’t look great just before he got diagnosed. I’m pretty confident that he was pretty ill off coronavirus. Loads of people pull through though, and he would have been priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it’s a grim reality but I guess by the time restrictions are relaxed a heck of a lot of the primary target audience for the virus will have already perished. I think rate of infection on an ongoing basis will only be possible to measure with mass and frequent testing but I guess the rate of deaths will seemingly decline for the aforementioned reason.

Villarocker Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I know the lock down is frustrating and disruptive to normal everyday life but, I hope the government doesn't relax the instruction too soon. What would be the point of going through the last month if we are allowed to go back to normal too soon and the virus spreads further. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is that we relax restrictions as ICU capacity becomes available, gradually letting the virus spread in a managed way such that the numbers stay manageable and the health service doesn't collapse. The alternative is we all stay inside until there's a vaccine? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If rates go up, I presume restrictions will be tightened up again. If the rates decline gently, even not as quick as they would with full restrictions, they will keep the reduced restrictions before introducing the next phase of relaxing. It will be a balancing act between the death caused by the virus and the deaths caused by the damage to the economy/increase in poverty. I expect the UK government will tread a similar path in their own time. Edited April 13, 2020 by brommy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged people. I don’t for one second think Johnson faked it for reasons I’ve already stated, but that this whole thing is a conspiracy against Trump is far FAR more “dumb” than Johnson faking it. Neither are true though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 The communications from government have been awful on every aspect of corona virus. Absolute guarantees there is enough ppe, the nurses are using ppe wrong, Boris is only in as a precaution, he’s not really that ill, he’s getting better every day... Priti was sorry if people felt there was a problem, 4,000 beds might actually be 500, Then 15,000 ventilators might be 14,000 of which 4,000 are for export... For a govt that prides itself on selling their message, they’ve had a ‘mare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was, otherwise the hospital would be complicit in the ruse and I can't see that being the case at all! I reckon he was a lot worse than it was ever reported.

jackbauer24 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Boris was on the verge of death but he was never put on a ventilator and is now out of hospital. So which version of the virus did he get because that doesn't seem to tally with any way this process goes. There's asymptomatic, there's mild, there's watch and monitor, there's oxygen and then there's ventilators. As I understand it, you're only in bigger trouble if you are in that last band and it goes on for a few weeks. So where is the 'Boris strain' where you are touch and go but not on a ventilator and out of hospital in five days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never know if they have a medical facility permanently on the go for the Prime Minister just in case of emergencies, the President of the US probably has one I'd have thought.
